Help me wire this?

[illest318i]

Hey guys! I bought a keyless entry on amazon and received it today. I was looking at the wiring diagram and I don't understand it. I have no clue how to wire this thing, but maybe some of you guys do.

The pictures below are of the diagram itself:







Sorry if the pics aren't any good. I can post more of you guys are having trouble seeing them.

Thanks in advance guys.

Look up your car here for the factory wiring:

You can also find the factory wiring diagrams here:

E30's are negative trigger, so you want to use Diagram C in your instructions. So it should look like this:

Keyless------>Car

White----->Yellow/Blue
Yellow----->Ground
White/Blue----->Green/Blue
Yellow/Blue----->Ground

Then the red and black wires to power and ground.

The red/black wire is for a electronic trunk pop, but E30's don't have one, so you can either leave it unhooked or hook it to another accessory you want to turn on.

The brown "direction light" is for the parking lights. If you want the lights to flash when you lock/unlock the car, hook this wire to the parking lights. Otherwise, leave it unhooked.

Ok cool, but just to make sure I get this right, I hook up

White with yellow/blue and so on as the list goes?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. And thank you for your help.

[AndrewBird]

Correct. You will need to splice those wires into the car's harness.

Awesome!

Thank you very very much.

I'll report back if anything goes wrong.

Okay so I'm taking a look at this and wonder "how am I gonna hook this up?"

I take a look and there's more wires than I completely thought!
I was looking for that yellow/blue wire and I couldn't find it.

Do you mind pointing out, wire direction? :)

Here are some pics of this mess.







Thanks once again

Iirc most people hook it up in the trunk.

Here's a link to the DIY;

The wires are inside the kick panel. Take the kick panel off and take the speaker out and see inside.

You can also do it in the trunk however.
